Put a restriction on the hose feeding the boost gauge. I put a small 10cm long tie-wrap tale inside of my hose and the dancing / buzzing needle went away.Trouble shooting Question: I keep noticing the needle on the boost gauge dances like crazy at 20 psi up to 25 psi, under heavy acceleration, feels like it does not hold the boost,and seems to flutter, but does if I roll the throttle on lil slower, seems to hold it. Not sure if is a tuning prob, or something is out of adjustment. We did put on a 3 bar MAP sensor, adjusted the IQ for more lean and tried hammer mod. Also while cruising at 55 or so the boost will surge up for 3 sec or so then go back down. Malone has sent diff tunes to try. Hope I'm describing it decently. Any suggestions as to what this may be? Background: The truck has an 02 ALH with a 17/22, 764's, and Malone 4. Ill try and post a video of the fluttering.
All you really need is just a pin-hole to get an air-pressure reading. You are still picking up too much "noise" from the intake.Hansenwerk, I tried the zip tie in the line, helped move the needle smoother but still got the dance at the end but was not quite as bad.
Todd that makes me think of a "boost increase" valve that PPE sells for the Duramax, but it goes inline off actuator. It is unrestricted on one end and pinhole on other end. Is it like that?
